The calamity divine maggot was originally a heavenly beast that ascended to immortality naturally. However, this creature committed various great sins to achieve the greater level, angering the Heavenly Law.
It ultimately received heavenly punishment and was shackled within the Earth’s sealed dimension realm.
Since its origin was Earth, Heavenly Law didn’t wish to eliminate this maggot, and Gaia was responsible for that outcome.
However, the calamity divine maggot’s re-emergence to the world would trigger the great apocalypse. Earth’s Heavenly Law would start the apocalypse scenario to end the current era of civilization.
"You’re pretty sleek." Elena put her hands around Gaia’s shoulders and poked the Mother Goddess on the cheek with her finger.
"My responsibilities would be over when my divinity decay began to reach its final stage. But, an unexpected world merging occurred, and all that... My life element is now connected to Elysia, and Lifa revitalized my core. Do you think it’s too expensive for me?" Gaia looked at her hands and then at Elena’s ethereal golden eyes.
"Hmm~ Ely is the master and host for several Contracted Goddesses already. Welcome to the family. You’re the fifth, Gaia." Elena patted Gaia’s shoulder and returned to Elysia’s side.
"This maggot fainted." Ai pointed to the cocoon in the iron cage.
"If only it was a little more honest and toned down its arrogance. Doesn’t it know its situation after what happened?" Elysia shrugged her shoulders and sighed. That maggot forced her to use the forceful interrogation technique.
"Phew, fortunately, this little fella didn’t come out to alert Earth’s Heavenly Law. So, the natural great apocalypse won’t be hastened. It’s just an apocalypse brought from another world." Elena checked the maggot to make sure whether it fainted for real or pretended to faint.
"Mm, yes. We also need to handle the great apocalypse. The otherworld also brings disaster that can destroy Earth. If those Deity-level monsters and humanity’s greatest weapons of destruction clash, it will spell the end. Let’s meet the All-Devouring Whale." Elysia looked up at the reddish sky.
In the blue ocean on Helven Realm’s other side, a great whale was busy absorbing water elements until its body resembled water in the shape of a whale.
"Let’s go. If it doesn’t have any useful information, we will inevitably need to partially revive the other four divine whales." Elena tapped the nearby floating realm core.
The realm core understood the command and immediately teleported the Goddesses from the Hell side to the Heaven side with a poof.
The Hell side was a realm resembling Hell’s extreme realm with the red sky and filled with fire, home to destruction class calamity beasts.
The Heaven side resembled the Heavenly Realm, a residence for mythical and non-destructive divine beasts. These realms were next to each other, separated by the layers of two-sided skies.
"Wow! Your family has many calamity monsters." Gaia looked up at the blue sky and checked her surroundings in amazement. She soon wondered why Elysia’s family had so many calamity monsters.
"Most of them are the creatures captured and nurtured by the Evil God. We cleansed them and let them stay. Can we recruit some of Earth’s mythical and divine beasts in the Heavenly Realm?" Elysia remembered something. It would be good if they could have some of Earth’s authentic divine beasts from Heaven.
"That... We need to ascend to Heaven for that. You need to talk to them and ask permission from the God King Ileus." Gaia put her fingers together.
Since Heaven’s path was sealed due to the last chaos and sudden invasion, she lost access to Heaven. She had also become a part of Elysia’s family; thus, she lost her connection to Earth’s Heavenly Law. Therefore, she couldn’t summon divine beasts from Heaven for Elysia anymore.
"Alright then." Elysia nodded in understanding. 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝔬𝔪
A few moments later, they went out to sea to meet the relaxing whale on the sea surface.
"You’re in a good mood. So, how about our private world? Did you enjoy it?" Elysia landed on the All-Devouring Whale’s back, greeting him in a friendly manner.
"Yes, surely. This sea is splendid and comfortable. The water is tasty and rich in spiritual energy. This is like my home. If only my world wasn’t destroyed because of that bastard, I wouldn’t have to be slapped by that humongous humanoid Goddess to that harmful colourful sea of suffering." The All-Devouring Whale heaved a sigh, enjoying its peaceful time, bathed in delicious sea water under the warm sun.
However, he was suddenly shocked once he noticed several humanoid creatures on his back. He broke out in a cold sweat.
The Goddess that brought him and his comrades to that colourful sea of suffering was there, and the other three Goddesses were the unmeasurable mysteries and terror, especially the one with purplish-blue mythical eyes.
"I’m glad to hear that. All-Devouring Whale, I will name you one since you don’t have a name yet. Your name is Wales. Since you are genderless with a water-elemental body, then to make things easier for me, we will refer to you as him." Elysia crouched and blessed the All-Devouring Whale with a name.
"How dare you name me! This venerable great name is the All-Devouring Whale!" The All-Devouring Whale couldn’t take his new name for granted.
"That’s your race. You still need a name, Wales." Elysia understood why some rare divine beasts didn’t like having names. Still, names were important, significantly when they had been tamed.
"Why with the dragon? Do I look like a dragon whale?" Wales still felt slightly dissatisfied, but he accepted his new name because the one who named him was ridiculously strong. He couldn’t even move when she stood on his head.
"Wales can also mean the Whales. You have two spirits now. Be good friends with the other whale." Elysia spread out the carpet and sat there, inviting her Goddess sisters.
"No other being is allowed to order me around and influence me." Wales harrumphed.
He originally intended to devour that white whale’s spirit, but he changed his mind because it was a new experience to have the otherworld’s whale as his friend in the spiritual sea.
"It would be good for you to understand your situation better. Your world’s dimension collapsed and merged with the planet called Earth four years ago. Can you tell us about your world and how it got destroyed?" Elysia went straight to the point with a friendly attitude, knowing Wales was pretty sensible, unlike that arrogant maggot.
"Why should I tell you? It doesn’t bring any benefit. That world is no more, and the causes have disappeared somewhere." Wales refused indifferently.
Hearing that, Ai was about to make her move, but Elysia prevented her.
Elysia just smiled and took out a fishing rod. She tied up a ball-sized meat as the hook and threw the bait.
"What does this mean? Do you think I will change my mind just because of a small lump of meat? Why is this meatball shiny and looks delicious? No, wait... this one has that profound dao flow!"
Wales exclaimed in surprise. The meatball was so small, considering his large body size. However, he immediately changed his decision instantly and tried to devour that meatball.
Unfortunately, Elysia pulled the fishing rod, preventing Wales from eating it. That meatball emitted a delicious aroma and sheen that would charm any beast, and of course, the simple-minded Wales would fall for it.
"Tell us everything you know, and you will get it." Elysia shook her fishing rod right and left, tempting Wales with sparkling food.
"If you think you can make me open my mouth with just this one, then you are very wrong." Wales looked away, acting hard-won, but his eyes betrayed him.
"That’s two. Take it, or we will force you to reveal the truth." Elysia added the bait.
"Okay, you win. What do you want to know? Everything means bothersome. Make it more specific." Wales couldn’t withstand the temptation.
Wales couldn’t withstand the temptation and ate the meatballs. He was silent for several minutes, enjoying the taste and epiphany he received afterwards. He didn’t think wrongly. The meatball was the divine treasure, cooked by the divine chef to increase one’s magical power!
A few moments later, Wales shared the tales and stories of his original world.

While Elysia’s Goddess group was digging for deeper information about the unknown otherworld, Megami had just opened her eyes from her resting meditation.
She took a peaceful rest the whole night, and it was time to take care of miscellaneous matters. The Mystic Stellar Saintess asked her for help to purify and detoxify the cursed poison that harmed Mystic Stellar’s previous patriarch, Mytic father.
Mytic’s real name was Mytia, but because of the Heavenly Palace’s rules, the high-rank Gods and Immortals, especially those involved with the Heavenly Palace, should hide and never reveal their real names to anyone.
’Her father was announced dead in the war, but she kept the truth a secret. It wasn’t easy to survive that long with a potent curse. Let me see what I can do.’ Megami moved out of her room, knowing that Yuna and Mytic were already waiting for her in the living room.
"Good morning, my lady. I hope you rest comfortably. Is there anything you would like? Perhaps something particular for breakfast?" Mytic could barely contain her excitement, knowing Goddess Ely was willing to help her father.
"I’ll check your father’s condition first. You need to prepare a lot of things later." Megami replied with a subtle nod.
Since the saviour wanted to go straight to the primary matter, Mytic was so pleased. Mytic immediately invited Goddess Ely and Agent White to her secret chamber.
